bottle from the brewery.
very little head (too young?). clear golden pour. Quite drinkable but not out of this world

My Bottom Line :
Sweetish bready malts and herbal hops play around an engaging fluffy mouthfeel for a pleasant session lager.
Further Personal Perceptions :
-A clinging veil of foam can be seen even when the beer reaches the bottom of the krug.
-Apart from the fact this was served in a ceramic krug, this tasted and felt like a Kellerbier all the way. Good job!
-The malt profile is not as sophisticated or clearly defined as some of the best Helles I’ve had, but its rusticity is endearing.
-Herbal hops produce lenient bitterness.
-I felt like having a second pint of this Helles, which is exactly the point, right?.
On tap at the brewpub.

500 mL in a pot tankard at Altstadthof Hausbrauerei in Nurnberg. Fairly liquid head, looked quite dark but that was probably the effect of the tankard. Tastes more roasted than a normal helles. I was pretty indifferent to this.
